For the Head of People / Operations

Stop Subsidising Bad Management. Invest in Leadership Stability.

The "accidental manager" is your biggest operational risk - a direct drain on your budget and capacity.

The Leadership Sketchpad delivers a rapid, measurable return by turning management anxiety into reliable, autonomous performance.

🔴 Stop Expensive Staff Churn
We drastically reduce the staff attrition driven by weak first-line leadership.

🔴 Reduce HR Escalations
Your managers learn to confidently resolve conflict and performance issues as they arise, slashing the time-sink of demands on your HR team.

🔴 Reduce Operational Bottlenecks
We eliminate the "accidental process" (also known as "making it up as you go along"). Your managers gain clarity on core management processes that directly affect your bottom line.

For Managers

Stop trying to be the same as every other untrained manager. Design your own leadership.

Because you were brilliant at your old job, you got promoted, and then handed a completely different one.

That feeling of "I have no idea what I'm doing" is not a failure of talent. It's a lack of a practical toolkit. Standard training forces you into a fake corporate persona, and you end up stressed and anxious because you just don't fit that mould.

We start with you, not Module 1.

Before you join the studio, we have a private 1:1 session to identify your top crisis. It could be delegation, team conflict, or time management meltdown. We give you an immediate, crayon-on-paper solution to deploy right away.

The 12 week design studio helps you to build your own toolkit for:

🟢 Taming the Squirrels
Manage your stress, become organised, and learn to delegate.

🟢 Moving from Buddy to Boss
Transitions are tricky! Design the essential boundaries and difficult conversations for clear and effective management of your old buddies.

🟢 Unlocking Conflict
Design your own practical toolkit for navigating team arguments and performance wobbles, and create psychological safety in your team.

... and more!

You don't need a rulebook. You need The Sketchpad.
